PipeLineNews Archives: February 2018

February 27, 2018 - San Francisco - CA - PipeLineNews.org – On 2.26.18, Senator Charles Grassley [R-Idaho], the Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee demanded, in an interrogatory that Adam Waldman, a registered foreign agent who had/or is still providing “services” to Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska.

Deripaska is a controversial figure, even as set against Russia’s vast mafia-like criminal subculture that has largely replaced the antiquated, graft-filled "an·cien ré·gime" that was a central aspect of Soviet politics and intrigue.

For example in an October, 2008 piece the UK Times carried the following gem, that provides a window through which Deripaska's importance in Russian politics, especially the aspect linking him with Russian President Vladimir Putin:

“Deripaska, the richest Russian businessman in the world before the credit crunch, is unable to travel to America after his visa was withdrawn. The decision was made after a series of allegations in American courts about alleged criminality in his business. These claims are strongly denied by Deripaska, who says courts have ruled the allegations lack "factual support".

However, the alleged involvement of a Russian mafia boss in Deripaska's early business career is likely to raise new questions over Mandelson's judgment in accepting his hospitality and holding a series of meetings with him.” [source, Peter Mandelson oligarch Oleg Deripaska linked to mafia boss , Sunday UK Times]

Considering the aforementioned, Grassley’s probing of any Waldman/Steele/Deripaska collusion as regarding the fraudulent “dossier” that has become the touchstone in Robert Mueller’s Inquisition against the President of the United States, Donald Trump, seems more than warranted.

Globalist Koch Brothers Put Mega-Money Behind Lefty Amnesty Push

February 27, 2018 - San Francisco - CA - PipeLineNews.org – The American left has perfected the art of attacking GOPer big league funders by portraying them as 19th century “Robber Barons.” This is probably why most people who consider themselves politically literate are at least familiar with the two billionaire brothers’ surname.

That aside, the Kochs are absolutely at the top of the GOPer food chain…but there is a considerable dark side to this equation.

Just as the federal government gets to push around any organization it even partially funds, the Kochs exercise more than reasonable control over its bought DC pols.

The problem with this [actually one of the problems, there are many] arrangement is that while the Kochs have been savaged by MSM types, the billionaire boys are in reality, old school liberal Democrats. This is why they support the social engineering experiment called, “gay marriage,” and are the eagles of the pro-amnesty hawks.

As far as immigration is concerned the Kochs full support of DACA/amnesty for illegal Mexicans, is at least consistent since they have apparently never met a wage that they didn’t consider too high.

For example:

"The Koch brothers’ DACA amnesty push comes after the billionaire, avid free trade, low-wage-seeking, open borders defenders announced that they would oppose Trump’s popular pro-American immigration agenda that seeks to reduce legal immigration levels by ending “chain migration” to raise the wages and quality of life of America’s working and middle class.

“We cannot support arbitrary cuts to future legal immigration levels,” a spokesman for the Koch-back LIBRE Initiative said in a statement, as Breitbart News reported. “We welcome a debate about whether our current legal immigration policy properly balances family and skills-based migration. But that broad debate should not distract from the immediate goal of providing certainty to Dreamers and enhancing security.” [source, John Binder, Pro Unlimited Immigration Koch Brothers’ Ad Hits The Airwaves, Breitbart]

Such is the way with modern American politics, a few funders have a near-veto power over party positions and candidate selection; both sides do it, for example on the left we have the convicted felon, George Soros, Tom Steyer and a host of radically inclined organizations such as the Tides and Ford foundations.

Mueller Inquisition’s Charging Documents

February 16, 2018 - San Francisco - CA - PipeLineNews.org - As a courtesy to our readership we are providing the actual text of Robert Mueller's "show and tell" indictment.

Q. Why would a very experienced LE type indict nearly 20 Russians?

A. He either wants to create the impression of light and heat while knowing that those named in the charging documents will never be extradited so there can be no confirmation…OR this means the plot becomes even more labyrinthine, with Mueller and Russia officials arranging the extradition of some of those named upon the agreement that they will turn “state’s evidence” and directly implicate Team Trump.

Neither prospect is reassuring, because both of them enhance the Deep State ‘s ability to control the national political dialogue, especially when the document is used as a set piece to further energize the already disproven allegation that Donald Trump is some kind of secret Russian mole.

As a stand-alone indictment, though the charges sound very serious, Mueller has been absolutely assured that Putin will tell him to pound sand...or...in the worst case scenario, Obama-Mueller are willing co-conspirator/fellow travelers in the worst political scandal in American history.

February 16, 2018 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org – The just announced “indictment” of 13 Russian nationals, who will NEVER be extradited, gives the Deep State in the parties of Obama, Mueller, Rod Rosenstein, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page et al., a document [memetic warfare] upon which the MSM has already started to construct and extend the knowingly false narrative that “Trump colluded with the Russians.”

The object?

Staging a very Soviet-like show trial to lend credence and “gravitas” to the absurd charge that Team Trump and Team Putin are one in the same.

Actually this proves that the Mueller Inquisition is a willing Russian ally in spreading the impression that the fallacious charges being leveled by RAT and entirely too many GOPers [Gowdy, Graham and most of the caucus’ leadership] are true.

At its core “Russiagate” is a joint U.S./Russian intel black op. It was designed to create mischief at best, chaos at worst, regardless of who actually became president in the United States - yes, U.S. Intel wants to spread discord so that it can more easily manipulate American citizens.

This means that the FBI, NSA and the rest of the now rogue entities that comprise America’s intelligence infrastructure were QUITE willing to give the Russians the power to blackmail Hillary, just as long as Trump could effectively be taken out in the waning days of the election or after his taking office in January 2017

1. Russians intercept all of Hillary and Huma Abedin’s electronic communication so that they can blackmail her if Hillary were to be elected.

2. Russians create evidence of its own “collusion” with Trump [though of course the indictment stresses that there was no intent by low level Team Trump hangers on, to indemnify itself against the possibility of the “Blonde Barbarian from New York City” being elected.

3. Though it has now been proven far beyond any semblance of doubt, that Hillary actually did collude with and paid Russian agents to compile a knowingly false “dossier” [to commit a fraud upon a FISA court] so that it could obtain a warrant to surveil Team Trump, today Mueller has entirely dismisses the matter.

Meet the new boss: Obama’s Marxist Deep State operatives have been actively engaged in a now not-so-stealthy coup against the American president joining with their Russian Intel cohorts - to depose, by coup, a duly elected President of the United States.

Soros/MoveOn's Crass Fundraising Off Tragedy

February 15, 2018 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org – This is another dispatch, part of our effort to make readers aware of how the Marxists are continually engaged in exploiting tragedy for purposes of fundraising, below just in from the MoveOn coven:

“Dear MoveOn member,

Columbine. Virginia Tech. Sandy Hook. And now Parkland.

They all used to be schools. Now they are sites of massacres.

The grief I feel for the students, teachers, and families of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, is only matched by the rage of knowing that yesterday's tragedy was the 18th school shooting in the United States this year. And it's only February.

This does not happen anywhere else in the world. Only here. And while Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers again send out their "thoughts and prayers," I know that, as always, they will fall in line with the NRA and refuse to take any action that will make this stop.

Enough is enough.

We must fight back against the NRA by kicking the elected officials in its pocket out of office this November. Click here to chip in $3 to this urgent fight.”

Of course unmentioned in MoveOn’s litany of lies is the absolute fact that mass casualty events in the United States are almost invariably committed by “members of the resistance” and jihadists. The Florida shooter was known to the FBI, he was widely seen locally as being dangerously deranged and someone who could commit violence and yet the FBI refuses to share its intelligence so that it may be factored in when running a National Instant Criminal Background Check System [NCIS].

February 13, 2018 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - In a near shocking admission this morning at the Christian Science Monitor’s “breakfast club,” Adam Schiff [D-CA] admitted what the president and his House colleagues have been saying; that the Democrat highly partisan version of the Nunes memo cannot be released because it contains highly classified information that should remain secret, to protect sources, methods etc.

The story was broken by the Daily Caller, piercing the heart of the Democrat’s ongoing operation to hamper President Trump as he executes his duties.

Schiff’s admission is proving very troublesome for Democrat lawmakers who have been pushing the canard that its version of the Nunes Memo further “implicated” Team Trump because so far the president has refused to release it, given the highly classified information that it contains.

It is common knowledge now that the Democrat’s purposely placed sensitive Intel information into their “version” of the Nunes memo so that Trump would be forced into nixing its release, thereby giving them another opportunity to push the Trump “obstruction of justice” narrative. For an almost comical MSM treatment of the manner we refer the reader to [Robert Schlesinger, Transparent Hypocrisy , U.S. News And World Report].

Globalist Deep State’s Predation Is Endemic Across The Entirety Of Western Civilization

February 13, 2018 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org – This author recently published a book entirely devoted to explaining in detail the origins and existential threat posed by the Deep State. Since we continue to believe that analysis constitutes definitive proof of the thesis, we feel that providing readers with a snapshot might provide a good segue into today’s topic.

“Though on our lips now for what might seem like forever - but of late with increasing frequency - come whispers of a concept alien to this society…to the West, the Deep State.

Grasping for understanding, we should avoid the classical social rebel’s meme of the “establishment,” which though still largely a creature of the left, fails to present the requisite united front as a battering ram. So no, the Deep State isn’t just a sub-rosa element of the powers that be. Rather, it’s a highly organized, ideologically consistent, revolutionary entity that at the moment is engaged in a soft-coup - for now - an effort to overturn the will of the electorate that spoke loudly on November 8.

An agent in the forced rending of our traditional past, the Deep State can only be seen as the embodiment of an existential threat. In this sense it should be seen as being un-American rather than anti-American; it subverts from within, a traitor, not an invader.

It is massive structurally, consisting of a network of supremely arrogant, highly intelligent and very powerful embedded senior level government employees as well as elite institutions and their leaders who justify their behavior through a process of reasoning that conflates ends and means, creating a “unity of opposites,” a term that is entirely consistent with the Marxist dialectic, regardless of whether its practitioners are aware of it by that name or not.

Europe’s War Against The Truth About Islam

February 11, 2018 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Since Western media refuses to covers it [including Fox], Europe’s fascistic war against people who speak the truth about the hateful ideology of Islam has shifted into high-gear, with various governments jailing and fining normal citizens for observing the truth - Islam is an ideology of domination and does not deserve free speech status.

Let’s take Sweden for example where recently we find an aging citizen facing imprisonment for simply observing the obvious, that Islam has no place in Western society:

The party, only identified by his surname, “Denny” who read the Qur’an for the first time and was shocked by its sadistic brutality.

In return the Swedish government has come down on the pensioner with a sledgehammer, forcing him to lawyer up to prevent the bureaucrats [led by Prime Minister, Stefan Löfven a member of the socialist party - unsurprisingly] to make an example of him by ruining him financially.

It must be remembered that since the Middle East's invasion of the country [jihad by hijrah] the once placid nation has become the per-capital rape capitol of the world, though all of the Euro countries seem to be engaged in a contest to decide who will become the most thought controlled. We have written about this phenomenon many times, for example [see, Cheryl Gatesworth, William Mayer, Adjo [Goodbye] Sweden, PipeLineNews.org].

[Denny] “decided to read the Koran and was shocked to see what it said, is being prosecuted for "incitement to hatred" for calling Islam "a fascist ideology" on Facebook.”

Says Denny:

"A few years ago, I also thought that Islam was just a normal religion, but then I read the Koran and became shocked by the hatred that exists there, the misogyny... The more Islam takes over, the more we compromise. Islam is a totalitarian ideology, which means dictatorship. So, I believe that our democratic system is in danger... I hate no people. What I hate is ideology, Islam. One can criticize fascism or Nazism, but why not Islam? Why should Islam have any protection status?"

Unfortunately the case is the norm, not the exception across the Continent, where rabid cultural Marxists are acting as agents of Shari’a enforcement, jailing and fining anyone who expresses ideas contrary to the government’s approved ideology.

February 8, 2018 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - News regarding the Obama administration’s involvement in a scheme to game the FISA court system so that it could spy on the Trump campaign and subsequent presidency is breaking so rapidly that the entire 24x7 media colossus is always a step behind, that is the few media sources that are even reporting on what is clearly the biggest law enforcement nightmare in American history and very possibly, the nation’s worst political scandal…ever.

That said, we can now, with great certainty, state that ex-President Obama and his administration engaged in a nearly decade long campaign to attack his GOP/conservative enemies using weaponized governmental agencies [Dept. of Justice, the FBI, NSA, CIA, IRS, EPA, FCC etc.] as a multi-purpose hammer.

We know that Obama was leading the pack because in one of the formerly “lost” now miraculously recovered 50k email between Peter Strzok and his mistress Lisa Page - which documents that both Strzok and Page were told that, “POTUS wants to know everything we are doing.”

Earlier this week we published an extremely redacted version of the Nunes memo and on Tuesday, a piece dealing with a less redacted memo written by GOP Senator’s Grassley and Graham regarding the criminal referral of Christopher Steel to DOJ for possible prosecution [please see, Nunes Memo Released and Grassley Seeks Full Declassification Review].

But less than 48 hours ago, the entire political infrastructure was in essence nuked by a far less redacted [reasonably understandable from beginning to end] version of the Senator’s first release.

Rather than burden the reader with slogging through what is four pages of dense prose, we will present below a synopsized aggregation of the new memo’s content.

Warning, the following may be injurious to your concept of how the American political infrastructure of today truly operates. Of great relevance we must note that Barack Obama has gone to ground [or perhaps has entered a witness protection program?] during the last few weeks as this story develops, when one might guess that it would be the glib “Constitutional Scholar” Obama himself defending the actions of his government. His absence is VERY telling.

Breaking: CA RAT RAT Congressman Schiff Gets Trolled By The Russians

February 6, 2018 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Though the U.S. media is ignoring the matter, the UK Daily Mail today contained a blockbuster story about the embattled Adam Schiff.

Schiff serves as the Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence [the “Nunes” committee] and has labored mightily to stop the avalanche of increasingly damaging information relating to the Obama administration’s now proven, weaponization of American law enforcement [DOJ/FBI] Big Intel [NSA, CIA, DIA, etc.] as well as Cabinet level entities including the Department of State, the IRS, DHS and others.

As the Mail story unfolds, the author notes that:

1. Adam Schiff, was RECORDED speaking to Russian pranksters who spun elaborate 'kompromat' or disinformation campaign

2. That the Russian “pranksters” gave emails to DailyMail.com which showed Schiff's staff trying to arrange to collect 'classified' documents from Ukraine's embassy in D.C.

Old School Investigative Reporter, Clarence Jones, Explains Why There Are Few Of His Kind Left

February 5, 2018 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Recently the altRight activist organization run by James O’Keefe, Project Veritas, sat down for a chat with Clarence Jones during which Jones attributed today’s lack of investigative journo partly to the profit motive that drives pretend news site’s bottom line.

Jones is legendary in media circles as he was the nation's first reporter for a local station to ever win three duPont-Columbia Awards (broadcasting's equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize...

February 5, 2018 - Washington, DC - PipeLineNews.org - The Federal Bureau of Investigation signed off [February 2] on an unclassified version of the criminal referral by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Crime and Terrorism Subcommittee Chairman Lindsey Graham only after the White House declassified a House Intelligence Committee (HPSCI) Majority memo largely based on the same underlying documents. Grassley is now calling on the FBI to update the classification of the referral to allow complete disclosure of important context from the documents on which it is based.

“Seeking transparency and cooperation should not be this challenging. The government should not be blotting out information that it admits isn’t secret, and it should not take dramatic steps by Congress and the White House to get answers that the American people are demanding. There are still many questions that can only be answered by complete transparency. That means declassifying as much of the underlying documents as possible,” Grassley said.

On January 4, Grassley and Graham referred Christopher Steele , the author of an unverified “Trump dossier,” to the FBI for further investigation after reviewing Justice Department documents that conflicted with Steele’s sworn statements in British court about the distribution of his research. At the time of the referral, the existence of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant applications described in the HPSCI memo was still classified. Grassley had sought the FBI’s cooperation to confirm that portions of the referral derived from sources other than the applications were unclassified. Following weeks of consultation, the FBI asked the committee to redact additional material despite confirming that it was, in fact, not classified, and only approved the release of the unclassified, heavily-redacted version of the referral after the White House formally declassified the House memo.

Steel Law Firm Files Civil Rights Action On Behalf Of Those Injured In Berkeley's "Anti-Milo" Riot

February 5, 2018 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Just days ago the law firm headed by RNC biggie Shawn Steel filed a civil rights lawsuit [in theUnited States District Court, Northern District of California - Oakland] on behalf of 4 appellants, John Jennings, Katrina Redelsheimer, Trever Hatch and Donald Fletcher, all of whom were injured in a February 2017 riot that took place in Berkeley after the university cancelled an address by free speech advocate Milo Yiannopolous.

“It is a civil rights action brought under the Fourteenth Amendment against government actors responsible for creating dangerous conditions and exposing the Plaintiffs to physical harm caused by a violent mob of anarchists at a student-sponsored Milo Yiannopolous event (“Yiannopolous event”) scheduled to take place at the University of California, Berkeley (“UC Berkeley” and “University”) on February 1, 2017.

The defendants are many including numerous UC Berkeley, City of Berkeley and Berkeley Police Department officials as well as those named as “individual baterers,” Ian Dabney Miller and Raha Mirabdal [a.k.a. Shadi Banoo] believed to be members of the revolutionary Marxist group, By Any Means Necessary [BAMN]

In the days subsequent to the AntiFa inspired riot, commentators noted that the Berkeley Police Department seemed uninterested in doing its job and the lawsuit reinforces that notion, charging law enforcement with “standing down” [and actually sheltering indoors when the violence started] rather than protecting the public order. This failure to act had the effect of encouraging mob violence against those bringing suit:

“By issuing feckless disbursal orders and empty threats of arrest from a vantage point where they [ensured] “their own safety while leaving Plaintiffs exposed to violent assaults, erecting barricades in such a manner as to enable angry malefactors to surround Plaintiffs and assault them and to deprive Plaintiffs of an exit route, failing to enforce the law and by other affirmative actions.”

In our interview with Mr. Steel, the attorney stressed the public good aspect of the case stating that the attorneys are not only working pro bono but are also footing much the bill regarding the legal costs incurred by the plaintiffs as a result of the action. He also stated that he expects a protracted battle since the public officials are being represented by government paid attorneys.

Convicted U.S. Terrorist Sami al-Arian Confirms He Is A Jihadist

February 5, 2018 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - After more than a decade of taqiyya based lies, convicted and subsequently deported terrorist Sami al-Arian turned up last week at a jihad-fest being held in the increasingly Ottoman-ized terror haven, Turkey, preaching [shock!] Islamic world revolution while calling the United States “our enemy.” [see, Steven Emerson, Al-Arian Calls U.S. 'Our Enemy' At Turkish Conference , Investigative Project on Terrorism]

“Deported Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) board member Sami Al-Arian denounced the United States as "our enemy" last Tuesday at an Istanbul conference on Jerusalem sponsored by Turkey's Directorate of Religious Affairs.”

Why is this seemingly inconsequential bit of news important? Because the key takeaway is important; the global jihad’s partnership of convenience with the Marxist left probably needs no better illustration than that of al-Arian, since his strategic alliance with the entirety of the leftist Deep State has been on display for a very long time.

Al-Arian was originally indicted by the Bush administration in 2003 on charges giving material aid and comfort to the terrorist organization, Palestinian Islamic Jihad [see, U.S. v Sami Al-Arian et a l, Department of Justice].

“Today, the U. S. Department of Justice is announcing the indictment of Sami Al-Arian and seven co-conspirators . Among those charged are several individuals in the leadership of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad is a U.S. government designated foreign terrorist organization, committed to suicide bombings and violent jihad activities.

As the indictment details, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad is responsible for the murder of over 100 innocent people in Israel and the Occupied Territories, including at least two young Americans, Alisa Flatow, age 20, and Shoshana Ben-Yishai, age 16. FBI agents have arrested the four defendants who are located in the United States, including the North American leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Sami Al-Arian. Searches also are underway in six locations in the Tampa area and one location in Illinois.” [source, FBI Charging Documents , Attorney General’s Remarks Following Indictment of Sami Al-Arian in 2003, DOJ]

Nunes Memo Released!

Trump To #ReleaseTheMemo On Friday?

February 1, 2018 - San Francisco, CA - Numerous sources seem to confirm that DC’s hottest potato, the “Nunes Memo” will finally be released by the president sometime tomorrow. The topic has quickly morphed into heavy contact sport between various political factions in the nation’s capitol, but the long wait now appears to be just around the corner…assuming “sources” are correct.

If this does happen, the release will fly in the face of the unwritten law, long in vogue among journos/PR types who see Friday as the black hole where controversial news goes to die.

We understand the mechanics of this ongoing controversy and the nature of the media to make every weekend 3 days long, meaning nothing productive gets done while the scriveners nurse their glasses of Chardonnay, but this matter is potentially so earth-shaking that not even the gates of [newsroom] hell can stand against it. Thus, if the memo is released the Sunday talkers are going to get very little sleep during their extended R & R, with Fox claiming:

“President Trump is expected to swiftly declassify a controversial memo on purported surveillance abuses, sources tell Fox News, even as Democrats raise objections that edits were made to the document since it was approved for release by a key committee.

But the objections [made by RAT pols] don’t appear to be halting the publication plans…[so] the release is likely to come Friday morning, Fox News…[has been told]”

A key player in MemoGate is the bug-eyed RAT Rep from CA, Adam Schiff about whom even Politico admits is playing an exceedingly weak hand:

Soros’ Marxist Coven MoveOn Agitates To Block #ReleaseTheMemo

February 1, 2018 - San Francisco, CA – We try to keep tabs on dozens of radical/revolutionary organizations across the United States, primarily via email “alerts.”

Below the most recent fever dream from our pals over at MoveOn.

“The FBI just challenged the accuracy of the so-called "Nunes memo" a document that was drafted at the direction of the House Intelligence Committee's GOP chairman and Trump crony, Rep. Devin Nunes.

This memo is just the latest in a long string of attempts by Republicans in Congress to undermine and smear Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Donald Trump and his team's connection to Russian efforts to meddle in U.S. elections.

Rep. Nunes' attacks on the integrity of the Mueller investigation are a shameful partisan stunt. Click here to sign and share my petition pressuring Speaker Paul Ryan to remove Nunes from participating in the Russia investigation completely.

We can't allow Rep. Nunes to continue spreading unfounded innuendo about the Russia probe to undermine its credibility. Last year, Rep. Nunes had said he'd remove himself from this investigation due to conflicts of interest, but instead has sought to misdirect the committee's investigation and disrupt Mueller's work.

Fallen Star Trey Gowdy Quits Congress, Outed As Corrupt DOJ Firewall

The Memo Heard ‘Round The World

By WILLIAM MAYER

February 1, 2018 - San Francisco, CA - What is it exactly that caused Congressman Trey Gowdy [R-SC] to quit Congress while attacking the chair of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes [R-CA] suggesting that he is grandstanding?

“We had great hopes when the House leadership seemingly capitulating, ended John Boehner’s stonewalling [ass covering] on the matter, and formed the House Select Committee on Benghazi .

Subsequently it became apparent that our faith in “the process” was Pollyannaish…we should have known better. The just issued 800 page report is evidence of that misplaced trust and reveals Committee Chair Gowdy to be what we have come to expect from the GOP, a sanctimonious fraud, running a sham investigation.”

In his brief time in the spotlight, Gowdy has proven to be worse than useless, trying to create the appearance that he was some kind of crusading prosecutor, when in reality he has been working at cross-purposes with his carefully curated but fraudulent [and media enhanced, thank you Fox] image, serving unseen globalist masters.

In DC few are given a second chance to make good after chairing a disaster like the House Select Committee on Benghazi but Gowdy was that singular exception which the Congressman quickly dynamited with his high profile, showboat criticism of “fellow” Republican Devin Nunes as Mr. Nunes refuses to capitulate to the Deep Staters in the Justice Department.
